Biography

John was born about 1804 or 1809. At the 1851 Census he was married and head of the following household:[1]

  • 21 431 Crossman John M Head 45 Dutch Farmer (prop) Birth 5678
  • 22 431 Crossman Ruth F Wife 46 Dutch Birth
  • 23 431 Crossman William M Son 19 Dutch Birth
  • 24 431 Crossman Deborah F Daughter 17 Dutch Birth
  • 25 431 Crossman John M Son 15 Dutch Birth
  • 26 431 Crossman Robert M Son 13 Dutch Birth 56
  • 27 431 Crossman Martin M Son 11 Dutch Birth 56
  • 28 431 Crossman Mary Ann F Daughter 9 Dutch Birth
  • 29 431 Crossman Pemela F Daughter 7 Dutch Birth
  • 30 431 Crossman Margaret F Daughter 5 Dutch Birth
  • 31 431 Crossman Catherine F Daughter 1 Dutch Birth 56

By 1871 his household had become somewhat smaller:[2]

  • John, head, 68, Baptist, farmer
  • Rebecca, f, 60
  • Milcha, f, 21
  • Laura, f, 19
  • Alpheas , m, 17

John passed away after 1891 when he appeared in the census in his son Alpheus' household.

Research notes

The name of his wife is different in the 2 census years, 1851 and 1871. It looks like he had a new family by 1871. So who was Ruth? Actually, none of the children in 1851 Census are reflected in the descendants. Perhaps a different family altogether? Did they leave the region?
